Simple Guide for Add Maths Project TUGASAN 4/2010
Alrighty. Add Maths project... hmm. I typed this thing out at 2am - 5am in the morning. So if you find spelling mistakes and grammar mistakes, you know why.
You can find more information here and if you find mine is just too vague. Just register and activate you account and you'll be able to view it.[HERE]
Question paper. Lost it? Go here. [HERE]
Air-cond sizing worksheet. [HERE]
*PRECAUTIONS (LOL)
1. Graphs. It's best if you draw the graphs manually. In other words, by hand. And by hand, I mean drawing.... with pencil. Yeah.
2. Tables. You can draw the outline of the table using computers. But fill in the data that you've obtained by hand.
3. Calculations. 100% by hand. No computer aided work here. Show every single working. Even if the calculated data is supposed to be filled into the table, you still have to show the working.
4. Generals. Most of the pages can be done with the aid of computer except the ones I mentioned above. But it's not a problem if you want to do it completely by hand.
The ones I put in bracket indicate the corresponding criteria in the rubric that I'm having. Maybe I can upload it later if anyone wants it. It's basically a table of criteria for the folio. What you need in the folio:
1. Title Page (A1) - Include your name, class, school's name, teacher's name, project title i.e. Index Prices in Our Daily Life.
2. Contents Page (A1) - Quite obvious what you should do here.
3. Objectives (A2) - List out the objectives of doing this project. 3 would be enough, I guess. i.e. To develop positive attitude towards mathematics.
4. Introduction (A2) - Basically this is just a copy and paste work from Wikipedia. Find the history, uses, and etc etc.
Now, I'm referring to the question paper. If you lost it, go here. [HERE]
5. Part 1
a) Collect pictures, newspaper cuttings or photos on items that you have chosen. A plain collage is adequate. Cut and paste. Simple.
b) Copy back Table 1 and gather your data [FIELD WORK]. Make sure you use the same measurements for each of the identical items.
c) Create at least two suitable graphical presentations. I'm not quite sure what this means. Maybe you can do those graphs like in the stock market for each of the items. I'm just speculating for this one. The information that they give is just too vague.
d) Basically, just write whatever you think the graph is showing you. i.e. Most expensive and etc. Then, comment on what you've found.
e) Identify ONE item which is too cheap or too expensive (10 or 20 sens in difference is kinda extreme, in a way) Calculate the mean and standard deviation of that particular item. And, think why its price is like that.
6. Part 2
a) From Part 1, just state which shop you'd go to purchase those items. State your reasons and explain why.
b) Copy and fill up Table 2 with the prices of items from the shops that you choose.
(i) Calculate the price index for each of the ingredient for 2010 based on 2009.
(ii) Then, calculate the composite index for 2010 based on 2009. Explain how you get your answers.
(iii) State a suitable selling price for the butter cake in 2010. Explain why.
c) (i) Air-cond capacity based on room size. I THINK you have to list out the standard capacity of the air-cond and its corresponding room volume. Not sure if this helps, but you can try this. [HERE]
(ii) Get the volume of the library. Explain how you get the answer. Determine how many air-cond and the air-cond capacity do you need to keep the library in a cool condition. You can use your own estimation or you can use Fudin's. His is 600 cubic metres.
(iii) Then, get an estimation of the total price for the air-cond(s) and determine how many butter cakes you need to sell to buy the air-cond(s).
7. PART 3
a) Complete Table 3 based on the information given on the previous passage. The one right on top of the 3(a). It's suppose to be something like this.
b) Calculate the composite index for the estimated budget for 2010 based on 2009. Best be done in a table form. Like this:
Then, comment on your answers. Just mention the increment is sufficient, I think.
c) Using the information that they gave, calculate the composite index for 2011 based on 2009. This one is pure calculation. You don't need to draw any tables.
8. FURTHER EXPLORATION
For this part, you'll have to elaborate on the different types of index numbers and their importance in our daily lives.
9. CONCLUSION
Best if you make a conclusion for each part of the assignment. This is basically your findings about the project. I don't think specific findings is required, just general ones will do.
I.e.
Part 1 - BLABLABLABLA BLA BLA BLA BLABLA
Part 2 - Etc etc etc
Part 3 - Fffisgjskkfopfjrij
Something like that. -.-
10. REFLECTION
I think the guide they have on the paper is quite sufficient to guide you. So, just follow from there.
11. REFERENCE
Just list out your source of information to finish up this project. And, this blog doesn't count. So, don't include that in.
For websites: www.example.com/example.html
For books: [BOOK TITLE], [PUBLISHER], [WRITER(S)], [DATE PUBLISHED], [PAGES]
12. APPENDIX (Lampiran... =.=)
Just put the question paper there. That's the only appendix you'll need.
I acquired the images from MyHomeTuition.com. I haven't actually read the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy of the website. So if anyone from the website found this blog, please mail me at flyinseal_93@hotmail.com if you need an explanation or letter of request for the usage of your site's digital properties. Thank you.
p/s: If you're still not sure, give me a mail. I'll try finding more informations.
